Adventurer - Jackie enjoys being around superheroes; helping out where she can and, often times, where she shouldn't. As such, she will occasionally put herself in harms way with the heroes, even though she doesn't have the power base to back the actions up.
Relationships - Jackie has fallen for heroes in the past. She became Mr. Cool's sidekick for the thrill of it, and began dating the charismatic Jack of Diamonds when they worked together on The Aces. As such, she's prone to attaching herself in some way to heroes. She will not, however, do anything to embarass herself or provide a bad role model for her brother Rob.

Background: Jackie moved to Las Vegas from Pahrump to find and help her older brother, who had developed a drinking problem during his quest to "break the casinos." As such, she had to take a job driving limos to make ends meat and keep her brother in rehab. During that time, she managed to learn a few things about car maintenance, some self-defense moves for drunk passengers who got a little grabby and found she was a pretty good driver. Then she was hired out to drive for Mr. Cool, who saw himself as a local superhero. She found the idea of being a sidekick pretty "cool" and stuck around when he joined up with the Aces. She liked it so much, in fact, that she stuck around even after he was cured and left the team. She made a place for herself and made enough money to send Rob off to a full-time health facility. The sidekick thing was starting to get kind of old, though, especially after seeing Macarthur Duncan gutted in The Sleeve. Something told her that she wouldn't get up as easily as he did. So she took on the bulk of the monitor duties and let the boys go out and put their lives on the line. And when Drébin came in and offered to move her to New Orleans, she jumped at the chance. |

Personality: Jackie is a fun-loving girl, tempered by a strong sense of responsibility. Her brother had always been the one getting in trouble, and she needed to be the one able to get him out of it. Her giving nature also stems from a strong religious faith, but not in a domineering fashion. She enjoys the superhero ideal of helping others, but also realizes that she's not in their league and can be more of a hindrance in the field than an asset.
Powers/Tactics: As part of her time as Mr. Cool's sidekick, Jackie ordered a beanbag stun gun and fitted bulletproof vest through the Pierce Manufacturing Company online catalog and learned how to fire the pistol proficiently. The times she has found herself in the heat of battle, she tends to find a safe place to take cover and shoot at anyone who comes near. She will occasionally draw fire on purpose if someone else is in trouble, but often questions her sanity afterward.
Appearance: Jackie stands 5'2" tall with a thin (but not skinny) form. While attractive in any other part of the world, her brown hair, hazel eyes and less-than-excessive build made her seem almost plain in the neon lights of Las Vegas (or the silicon-and-sun baked LA). She has a girl-next-door quality that is appreciated practically everywhere else, but there is no way she'd be another notch on anyone's bedpost. While "on duty," she wears her limo driver uniform with a pink domino mask to "hide her secret identity" (in reality, she just likes the idea of wearing a mask like the rest of them).
Jackie was created by EvilLuke and designed by Jim Caswell. She is a non-player character.
